Home to the Swedish Parliament, or Riksdag, the Parliament House (Riksdagshuset) stands as a significant historical and political landmark in Stockholm’s Old Town, or Gamla Stan. Designed by Aron Johansson, the building comprises two attached structures and was constructed between 1897 and 1905. It occupies about half of Helgeandsholmen Island, centrally located in the heart of the city. Visitors can explore the grand architecture and learn about Sweden’s legislative processes, making it a key destination for those interested in the country’s political history and governance.
